Suspicious Emails. We have received calls and emails about fraudulent emails being received by people from a spam account using Archbishop Gregory’s, Father Mel's, or other priests’ names. Please note that the archbishop and Father Mel will not communicate a need for assistance in this way. At this point we are unable to stop these emails as these fraudulent email accounts. Please mark these emails as spam and phishing. Please be diligent in not responding to suspicious emails.
Sacrament of Confession. Confessions are held on Saturday afternoons from 4:00 PM to 4:45 PM in the Parish Hall. Please enter the front doors of the church on the Parish Hall side. An usher will direct you to the line for confessions. As you enter the church, please wear a face mask or facial covering, sanitize your hands, and maintain social distancing (six feet) while in the church and parish hall.
